Headphone connection.
The DAC 2004 with volume control is perfectly suited for use with electrodynamic headphones from 250 Ohms upwards. For example, the legendary Sennheiser HD650. The original cable will not do because of its low quality and because of its connecting jack. The DAC 2004 has two XLR balanced outputs which should be used with headphones. The wiring schematic is as follows:
DAC output XLR pin 1:
Connect it to the shield of the headphone cable.
DAC output XLR pin 2:
Connect it to the signal "+" (smaller pin) of the HD650 headphone cable.
DAC output XLR pin 3:
Connect it to the signal "-" (larger pin) of the HD650 headphone cable.
The shield of the headphone cable is not to be connected at the headphone end. It should be left floating at the headphone end. The more you shield, the better it sounds.
